Point Loma Yacht Club Charity Bay Race




Once again Point Loma Yacht Club invited Challenged Sailors San Diego to participate in the Charity Bay Race on August 17. Thank you to PLYC, members, volunteers and the day's race committee! It is always great to sail on San Diego Bay but being able to sail with a wonderful group like PLYC during a beautiful San Diego day is special.

More than 20 volunteers and sailors from Challenged Sailors participated. Thank you to all everyone who was involved and helped work through a few little logistical issues during the race. 

Photos of the event were taken by Craig Levitt.
